"Gardens" Show 2024 was incredibly disappointing. It should be more aptly branded as 'Swimming Pool Show' or 'Mulch Show'. None of the houses had "gardens" - too many have little more than backyard swimming pools, some lawn, and some perimeter planting that looked like it was just put in a few days before the show. No parterres, arbors, hedge rows, or interesting specimen plants - there's more to see at a local nursery and they don't cost $80.00 for a couple to go into. I've attended the show two years now - about 10 'gardens' in all - and only seen one that was worth my money and time...and ironically I think it was the only one that didn't have a pool. Won't be back, as either a member of HFW or to the misleadingly named...

More interesting than we expected. Yes there was an 11am cattle drive and information shared about the history of FW. The arena for the rodeo was old and interesting. There’s many historic buildings and lots of small boutiques for shopping. The John Wayne museum is neat and well done. We plan to visit again next time...

Rainy weekend stopped just in time to have the Hidden Gardens tour - thank goodness! I would not want to miss this delightful annual event. Many thanks to the generous garden owners for allowing us to see their beautiful landscapes. And thanks to HFW for putting this...
